― Victoria Beckham
“I have always been a great believer that women should support women, and my admiration goes out to mothers everywhere, as they constantly put their own needs behind those of their children, embracing daily uncertainties and entering the new uncharted territories that each day brings, to be, in return, rewarded with joy and unending love.”

I travel a lot, my team travel a lot, but I wouldn’t have it any other way.”
― Victoria Beckham
“The whole European Federal plan is ridiculous. We are patriotic. The single currency is an outrage. We want the Queen’s head – or the King’s head, if we have a king – on our own coins.”

― Victoria Beckham

― Victoria Beckham
“People I respect complimenting me on my work in fashion is more exciting to me than anything I ever achieved as a Spice Girl. I am now competing in an arena where I can hold my head high. I feel quite confident in what I’m doing now, much more than the singing. I was never going to give Mariah Carey any competition.”
― Victoria Beckham

― Victoria Beckham

― Victoria Beckham
“When I started out in fashion, everything had to be very structured and tight and controlling, and now I’m getting to a point where I think – I could wear a great big parka, that could be quite fabulous. I haven’t always got to show off my size, show off my shape. It’s a turning point for me.”

― Victoria Beckham
“When people ask if I have any advice for young designers, the best advice I could ever give to somebody is to work for someone else, when you are playing with someone else’s money. It is very expensive when you start doing it on your own.”

― Victoria Beckham

― Victoria Beckham
